I came up with this recipe when I was looking for a side dish to go with my first attempt at chicken mole. The cabbage makes it a sturdy dish, but it's light and flavorful-- a great way to offset an otherwise heavy meal. The recipe doubles or triples easily to feed a crowd. Sunflower seeds or pinenuts can substitute in for the pumpkin seeds, and if I have them on hand, I'll add in some golden raisins, chopped chives, or some fresh cilantro leaves.
